In Dublin, in 1953, A.J. Roycroft, the author of one of the finest endgame composition books ever (Test Tube Chess), ended this game with a flair.
Solution:
Black draws out the king with 1...Qxh3+ 2.Kxh3 Ne3+ (with the discovered check the knight denies the king a retreat into the comfort of his castled position) 3.g4 Bxg4+ 4.Kg3 Rf3# Neat. Cute!
